Clinical Psychology
Disclosure of Education/Training Outcomes and Information Allowing for Informed Decision-Making to Prospective Doctoral Students
Domain G of the Guidelines and Principles for Accreditation of Programs in Professional Psychology (G&P) requires that doctoral graduate programs provide potential students, current students and the public with accurate information on the program and with program expectations.
The Committee believes that all doctoral programs should provide the following information regarding education and training outcomes and accurate program descriptions as to potential students in its public documents including its website: time to program completion; costs (tuition and fees); internship acceptance rates; fellowships and other funding available; and student attrition rates. These are further defined below:

2. Program Costs The full-time student tuition at FSU for Florida residents for 2007-2008 is $6,876 per year. For non-Florida residents, full-time tuition is $23,924 per year. In addition, students are required to have health insurance. The premium for a 2007-2008 policy purchased through Florida State University is $1,440 per year. During the past 10 years, all students in the program that have requested funding have received it. Funding typically is provided in the form of a stipend from teaching, research or practicum placements in addition to university fellowships. Entering clinical students in the program typically receive a stipend of $15,000. Along with the stipend, the tuition is paid by the department. The student is responsible for covering the costs associated with fees and insurance. Non-Florida residents (with the exception of international students) are required to establish Florida residency after their first year, resulting in lower out-of-pocket fees. In 2007-2008 Florida residents pay $1,212 in fees for one year and non-Florida residents pay $2,024. The university is currently providing insurance premium supplements of $500 for eligible students.
